I am living in a house that (was) owned by my mother. When my children and I moved in almost 2 yrs ago my mother refused to draw up a lease even though I was paying her $625 in rent to live here. I disnt think much of it cause she is my mother and I wanted out of the house I was in at the time. Well tje house was foreclosed on and was sold at auction a week ago. Today I received a Notice to Vacate from an attorney's office by certified mail. The notice states that if I am the Grantor of the Deed of Trust I have 3 days to vacate. Or if I am a bona fide tenant I have 90 days to vacate. Well, considering that I have no written lease I'm worried that I have no rights in this matter. So I am neither the Grantor of the Deed of Trust or a bona fide tenant. I was doing some reading online and came across the subject of Cash for Keys. I read where banks or new owners will make the cash for keys offer but not the other way around. Can an occupant make this offer? And is it reasonable or unreasonable for me to call this attorney and make this offer if I have no lease?
